Merry Christmas has a hollow sound
when others show me
what they can be
on a bad day

sometimes they go away
and through the magic
of a cell phone
that echoes a hollow sound
call me
on a sad day

sometimes I wish
they would
call me
on a bad day

Merry Christmas has
the sound of sorrow
sometimes when they

had a bad day
but it's still
a memory

I'm too tired to worry
what your eyes
are now seeing
while I lie back to back to you
I can't worry
Just too worn out
anymore
where have your eyes taken you
today
and why
I question
Are you tired, too?
tired of me
or just so damn
tired
of worrying
where our eyes go
when
we are not
looking
toward each other
back to back
again I
turned away
I worry that I will stay
that way
forever?
and so be so
tired
be so tired

3. You are so damn eloquent, my dear Perseid...

I wish I were writing like you are...

[Perseid]

4. thank you, CP

You are very sweet.

I'm just letting words flow, and hoping some of them make sense, and touch someone.

Seems as though there aren't too many swimming in this stream though!

5. These poems touch uncomfortable feelings

and paint a picture with them. You've captured the moments beautifully.

If they're spawned of a funk, I'm glad something beautiful resulted; but I hope you're soon feeling happier... :hug::hug::hug:

7. I hope the last one shows

I'm happy!

Thanks!

6. drunk country/cowboy/redneck poem

Well...ba dum ba dum ba doo

I was lovin' you yesterday
but you put my heart on the barbeque
for all to see and say
you didn't care for me
You lied and then fried
my liver
That's when I knew
you're a taker,
I'm a giver!

I'd gladly give my liver
to you
Just please don't put it on the
Barbeque?

I was lovin' you yesterday
'til I was grilled 'bout
being with another
in a honky tonk
I told you a lie and
you told me I was fried
That's when I knew
you're a taker, not a giver

I'd gladly spill my guts
and give you my liver
If you would just stop bein' a taker
Be a giver!

Could I please just for another day
keep my liver?

Midnight came and went without
waking me again
and the early morning hours
found me shaking again
then the day came and went without
as much as a whisper
from you

that's okay, that's all right
I don't need memories
that's the way we see the light
just don't wake me please?
I'll be all right

the early morning hours
found me whispering
a name again

the day came and went without
hearing a whisper
from you

but Midnight will awake again tonight
as always
and I'll whisper your name
and wish upon the moon
and stars
that you would wake me, please
from these shadows

but I don't need memories

there was a day or two
when I wondered
if you would
be willing to take
the train
to Baltimore
with me
me
there was a day or two
when I wandered everywhere
looking for you

would you
have been willing
to walk with me
to find something more
We should have been
able to ask
a thing or two
of those who know
is this the way to go?

would you have been willing
to risk
giving
time to me?
there was a day or two
when I thought that you
wouldn't go

we could be in Baltimore
on the seventh floor
of an apartment
without a view
I wouldn't care
after all
there would still be
the fire escape and stairs

You wouldn't have any of that
and I never have blamed you
so I am still
waiting for you
In Baltimore

more than a day
or two
goes by while I
look for you

11. another

he had a way of walking in with
such a swagger
that I have to say
it took my
breath away

but then he started saying the things
he says
always and again and again

and I got my
breath back
together
and I decided
not to take it
any longer

hold your breath for me mister
I won't take it back, but then

I hear my mind having conversations
with itself regarding this
particular question

and I got my
mind back
took a deep breath
and decided

I won't
take it
any
longer

I'll find another
(can't breathe)
